Lateral epicondylitis tennis elbow nonoperative therapy

4 - 8 weeks:

Long Arm splint is applied in 20 degrees of dorsiflexion for continual wear,
with the elbow blocked at less than 90 degrees of flexion. Ice and friction
massage are started twice daily and ultrasound is instituted three times a week
as necessary. Extensor carpi radialis stretching exercises are instituted as
well with the wrist in flexion and the elbow in full extension while progressing
